Housing

Linda Fabiani (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive how many affordable homes for rent or ownership, for which approval has been granted, are unable to be built due to a lack of appropriate water and sewage infrastructure, broken down by local authority area.

Lewis Macdonald: Before Communities Scotland approves proposals for the construction of affordable houses for rent or ownership, a pre-approval process establishes that sufficient infrastructure capacity, including water and sewerage, is available to support the project. As a result, while there may be occasions when progress is delayed while infrastructure issues are addressed, there are no affordable homes for rent or ownership for which approval was granted by Communities Scotland this financial year and which are unable to be built due to a lack of appropriate water and sewage infrastructure.

Land Reform

Mr David Davidson (North East Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what guidance has been given to national parks in respect of the regulation of access under new legislation.

Lewis Macdonald: The two national park authorities were issued with the Scottish Executive guidance Part 1 Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003: The Guidance For Local Authorities And National Park Authorities on 8 February. All 32 Scottish local authorities were also issued with the guidance. The guidance will assist these bodies with the delivery of their functions and responsibilities under the act. Copies have been placed in the Parliament’s Reference Centre (Bib. number 35204).

Land Reform

Mr David Davidson (North East Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive when a national access code will be agreed and what issues regarding it have not been resolved to date.

Lewis Macdonald: The Scottish Outdoor Access Code was approved by the Scottish Parliament on 1 July 2004. The access code came into force on 9 February 2005 along with all other remaining provisions of Part 1 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 to establish statutory rights of responsible access to land and inland water for recreation and passage and other purposes.

National Health Service

Linda Fabiani (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive what steps are being taken by staff working on behalf of the NHS to ensure that any person brought to their attention for treatment, who is under physical restraint, is lawfully restrained.

Rhona Brankin: The law concerning physical restraint centres around the use of reasonable force. NHS staff have a duty of care not to cause unnecessary harm to patients. Where a decision is made under the Mental Health Act (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003, the strong legislative and supporting messages are that such interventions be undertaken only by staff who are fully trained in appropriate control, restraint and resuscitation techniques.

  Following recommendations from the inquiry into the death of the psychiatric patient David Bennet, NHS Education Scotland has developed training standards on Prevention and Therapeutic Management of Violence in Adult Mental Health Settings. These have been piloted and are now being consulted on with the NHS publication later this year. A copy will be placed in the Parliament’s Reference Centre under reference (Bib. number 35187).

National Health Service

Linda Fabiani (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive who has statutory authority to apply physical restraint to persons undergoing treatment by NHS staff.

Rhona Brankin: NHS staff have a duty of care not to cause unnecessary harm to patients. Under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003, where a decision is made to administer urgent medical treatment under the act and this treatment is to be administered by force, the strong legislative and supporting messages are that such interventions be undertaken only by staff who are fully trained in appropriate control, restraint and resuscitation techniques.

Following recommendations from the inquiry into the death of the psychiatric patient David Bennet, NHS Education Scotland has developed training standards on Prevention and Therapeutic Management of Violence in Adult Mental Health Settings . These have been piloted and are now being consulted on with the NHS publication later this year. A copy will be placed in the Parliament’s Reference Centre (Bib. number 35187).

National Lottery

Donald Gorrie (Central Scotland) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will seek assurances from Her Majesty’s Government that projects funded by the new Big Lottery Fund out of the United Kingdom (UK) share of the fund will be of benefit to the whole of the UK.

Patricia Ferguson: Scottish ministers believe that it is essential that funding distributed on a UK basis should impact on all areas of the UK and that there should be equity in whatever distribution mechanism is adopted. The UK Government has assured Scottish ministers that the Big Lottery Fund’s programme of large transformational grants is being designed in such a way that it has the potential to impact and benefit areas across the whole of the UK.

Noise Pollution

Brian Adam (Aberdeen North) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-13855 by Lewis Macdonald on 7 February 2005, which local authorities have applied for funding to implement the forthcoming EU Environmental Noise Directive; how much funding each local authority has requested, and when funding allocations will be announced.

Teachers

Karen Gillon (Clydesdale) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive how many additional physical education teachers were recruited in 2004-05.

Peter Peacock: Information on the main subject taught by teachers is collected through the teacher census. Comparative figures between 2003-04 and 2004-05 will not be available until the results of the 2004 census are published later this year.

  Eighty-one PE teachers graduated from Higher Education Institutions in the summer of 2004 and 75 of those entered the Teacher Induction Scheme. Entrants to Physical Education Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) course are up by 18, from nine in session 2003-04, to 27. This gives a total of 123 expected graduates in 2004-05, inclusive of BEd students.

Teachers

Mr David Davidson (North East Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what the projected number of special needs teaching staff is for all grades in each of the next five years, broken down by education authority.

Peter Peacock: The information requested is not held centrally.

Teachers

Mr David Davidson (North East Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what support it provides for local authorities in north east Scotland for the provision of special needs teaching and the establishment of custom-built facilities.

Peter Peacock: The main support for local authority net revenue expenditure on special educational needs provision, including teaching staff costs, is provided by the Scottish Executive through the Revenue Support Grant. This is an unhypothecated grant and expenditure on individual areas is a matter for each authority. For information on the allocation of grant to individual local authorities I refer you to the Scottish Executive’s Finance Circular 8/2004 which can be viewed at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/library5/localgov/lgfs-00.asp .

  Funding is also made available through the National Priorities Action Fund specific grant. In 2005-06, a total of £5.6 million will be provided to Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, Angus Council and Dundee City Council to support specific special educational needs provision, including teaching staff costs.

  Decisions about work on school buildings, including the provision of facilities for pupils with special educational needs, are the responsibility of the local authorities within the resources available to them. These resources include the financial support we offer for school PPP projects; direct capital grant in the form of the Schools Fund, and the substantial resources which authorities can generate, principally through borrowing, under the prudential framework.

Teachers

Robert Brown (Glasgow) (LD): To ask the Scottish Executive what action it is taking to increase the number of geography teachers in order to meet demand.

Ms Rosemary Byrne (South of Scotland) (SSP): To ask the Scottish Executive what plans it has to train more geography teachers.

Peter Peacock: We have not seen evidence of significant or generalised teacher vacancies in Geography. Nevertheless, as part of our commitment to increase teacher numbers, we encouraged general increase in intakes to courses of initial teacher education. Entrants to Geography Postgraduate Certificate in Education courses this year are up by 59% compared to last year (rising from 34 to 54).

Teachers

Michael Matheson (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive how many qualified physical education teachers have been in post in primary schools in each of the last three years.

Peter Peacock: The available information from the 2003 Teacher Census shows there are 92 full-time equivalent (FTE) primary teachers with physical education as their main subject taught and 9 with it as their other subject.

  The previous teacher census was in 1998. The census is now being carried out annually. Comparative figures between 2003-04 and 2004-05 will not be available until the results of the 2004 census are published later this year.

Teachers

Michael Matheson (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive how many qualified physical education teachers will be in post in primary schools in each of the next three years.

Peter Peacock: Precise projections are not available. However we would expect numbers to increase in this period, as we move towards meeting the recommendations arising from the PE Review. Both through increases in secondary initial teacher education courses in PE, and through specific additional training for existing primary teachers.

Tourism

Mr David Davidson (North East Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what discussions it has had with trade members of tourist boards in Angus and Tayside regarding restructuring of tourism support.

Patricia Ferguson: Trade members of Angus and Dundee Tourist Board had an opportunity to discuss the integrated tourism network directly with VisitScotland at a Tourism Day on 9 February at Discovery Point, Dundee which was organised by the board. The meeting was attended by around 70 people, mostly from the business community, and heard informative presentations from several directors of VisitScotland.
